Actually I do suffer form vertigo very badly, to the extent I find it difficult to play video games where height is involved like Tomb Raider or Batmam Arkham City. Yet as these are stills I can look with no problems at all. Strange? Great pics! |

Great pictures, but i must point out that Vertigo is not the fear of heights, it's a whirling sensation caused by an inner ear disorder that may be triggered by looking down from tall things (or sometimes up at tall things) but is not exclusively caused by such. I have Vertigo, but mine is caused by flickering lights, heights don't worry me. Fear of heights is Acrophobia, from the Greek akron meaning peak. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Those are some cool pictures! I'm not afraid of heights, or even falling. But should I fall, the abrupt stop at the ground frightens me considerably. |
